This invention has reference to window curtain or shade fixtures, and aims to provide a fixture of this character which may be readily and easily adjusted and retained in such position of adjustment to permit the shade or curtain supported thereby to be operated with facility.

Another object of the invention is to provide a combined curtain and shade fixture which may be secured to a window frame, eliminating the use of securing screws or the like which disfigure the frame construction.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a combined shade and ourtain fixture including a central section and end sections, each of said sections comprising an adjustable member having brackets on which the curtain and shade supported by the device, are positioned.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a combined curtain and shade fixture.

Figure 2 is a plan view of one of the adjustable fixtures.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional View taken on line 44: of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on line 55 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the use of securing rails has been eliminated, and the fixture comprises 1929. Serial No. 373,378.

end sections 28 and 29 respectively, each end section being formed of a length of wire material bent intermediate its ends providing parallel arms 30 and a central loop section 31, the ends of the arms 30 being formed into hooks 32 to embed themselves in the ends of the upper bar A, of the windowframe.

Adjustably mounted on the arms 30 of each section is a plate 33 that has its ends looped around the arms 30, the loop portions being supplied with rubber bushings 34: to frictionally hold the members 33 in their positions of adjustment.

Hooks 35 extend laterally from each membtr 33 to hook into the ends of the curtain rods supported by the device.

The reference character 36 indicates an arm formed at one end of the plate 33, the arm being extended laterally and provided with an opening to receive the pintle at one end of the curtain shade roller.

The member 37 corresponding to the member 33 is identical in construction with the member 33 except the arm 38 that extends laterally therefrom, is provided with a slot 39 to receive the flat pintle at one end of a curtain shaft roller.

Rods 39 connect with the sections 28 and 29 and are formed with eyes 4t0at their adj acent ends into which eyes the ends of the coiled springs 41 are hooked to draw the sections 28 and 29 towards each other, holding the ends into close engagement with the window frame on which the fixture is mounted.

We claim:

In a curtain shadefixture, a securing mem- 7 member, said support comprising a length of sheet metal material, the ends of the length natures.

of sheet material being formed into loops for embracing the parallel legs of the securing member, and friction means held Within the loops and engaging the parallel leg members to restrict movement of the support With respect to the securing member, and curtain supporting arms extending from the suport.
